The Tandata TD1600 was a Viewdata terminal designed to access the UK’s Prestel network and the Homelink online banking system. The Tandata 1400 terminal features a larger, 73 key, multi-function keyboard compared to the other Tandata TD models. Tandata developed the Homelink system in partnership with the Nottingham Building Society and the Bank of Scotland. As one of the world’s first home banking services, it allowed customers to view account statements, transfer funds, pay bills, and arrange loans. The terminal connects to either a standard UHF television or a monitor using composite video or RGB output. Additionally, received data can be sent to a printer, saved to a cassette tape recorder, or transferred to various types of microcomputers via an RS232 interface. Our machine is complete with power supply and manual, and was very kindly donated by David McClelland of http://techspot.tv/.
